Acrossocheilinae
Subfamily of fishes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acrossocheilinae is a subfamily of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cyprinidae, the carps, minnows and related fishes. It contains three genera which are found in Southeast Asia and China. This taxon was originally proposed as a tribe, the Acrossocheilini, by Yang et al in 2015[1] but with the reclassification of the former subfamilies of Cyprinidae sensu lato into families the status of this taxon was changed to subfamily.[2]
